The newly revamped Reason Gaming Dota 2 team will be making their LAN debut tomorrow in the Electronic Sports World Cup in Paris. Reason's first match will be against Zero Respect, a team playing in their home country. Group stages will be tough for Reason, Empire in particular. However we at UKDota.net will be supporting them to see them pull through group stages and into the playoffs.

Since we've had many people poke and prod various members of the staff, I decided to do a quick update for those who want to keep track of things. Furthermore, we have enabled Inhouse League applications to let you go through the whole process before we release it. All users who wish to participate will be required to fill out this application form.

Nothing is permanent except change and the Dota 2 community is no stranger to transience. Following the departure of Josh “Mute242” Barlow and Jason “1cHiGo” Wong, Reason Gaming embraced changes yet again with a new roster announced earlier today.

With recent removals and departations from our core group of UKDota.net volunteers, we're in a bit of a pickle and require some new blood to help us continue to nurture the growth of competitive UKDota.

Team Infused re-enter the UK Dota 2 scene today with their latest edition to the prestigious organisation. This time it's the boys and girls from BBQ Chicken eSports (BCE). A team who've won many a fan in their short airtime in UK events.

I had the pleasure of having a chat with Tyrox the captain of BBQ Chicken E-Sports; who despite being new to the competitive scene have completed group stages as Insomnia 49 with no losses. Which is really exciting for this young team.

The first in a series of articles covering Insomnia 49's Dota 2 Tournament. The biggest UK Dota 2 LAN event to date, boasting an impressive £2,000 minimum prize pool and five Shogun Bros Ballista Mice. Today we'll be looking at the 'Ones to watch' and our pundits' opinions on what we think their final standings will be when the smoke clears on Monday.

One week to go until the biggest event of the year! There’s a £2,000 prize pool on the cards for Dota 2 at the moment, rising to £2,500 if a few more teams sign up, and a whole host of other cool stuff going on at the festival, so I thought I’d better fill you in on all the important stuff.

One of the great things about the UKDota community, is how willing everybody is to pitch in and help. A couple of weeks ago, we posted a plea for writers and tournament admins. With been flooded with applications and have managed to take on some great new team members.

Meltdown - the UK's first dedicated esports bar - are hosting what is probably going to be the worlds biggest pubstomp yet for the final two days of The International 3. This is the first Dota pubstomp at Meltdown, and so there's never been a better time to show Valve and the rest of the world how strongly the UK loves its Dota 2.

At last weekend epic.ELEVEN, hundreds of gamers armed only with their computers and various amounts of energy drink descended upon the Kettering Conference Centre. At epic.LAN, predictably, various gaming tournaments were held in an attempt to ascertain who, in attendance, was best at playing a particular game. One of these games was our old favourite, Dota 2 where four UK teams competed for the £525 1st place prize pool.

UKDota.net are proud to announce that we are now affiliated with Multiplay; one of the most prestigious British gaming organisations. Multiplay was founded in 1997 and are a leading service provider to the games industry, a consultant and promoter to almost all major publishers, manufacturers and e-tailers, as well as being one of the UK's largest gaming event organisers.

As a weekend of sleepless nights and bloodshot eyes creeps up on us again, UKDota is incredibly pleased to announce our cooperation with Insomnia in the Dota 2 tournament. Casting for us will be the ever popular PyrionFlax, and our font of wisdom Durka.

No we aren’t playing World of Warcraft so no need to worry but with the introduction of the Guild System into Dota 2 we have gotten our Guild up and running thanks to PyrionFlax and CyborgMatt and we are ready for people to come along. Unfortunately unlike the Chat room you will need to contact an officer of the guild (Generally all UKDota Admins) for an invite into this guild. Everyone is welcome and we hope to see many people come forth into the guild. It makes it easier to establish parties and chat (and it’s finally moderated!).
